Life, Earth and Environment
Our Vision: Science for understanding, conservation and restoration of our natural world
The Life, Earth and Environment Theme is a vibrant community of world-class researchers investigating natural and managed landscapes across botany, zoology, earth science, palaeontology, and ecosystem management, spanning both ancient and contemporary systems.
Our purpose is to undertake high quality research that deepens our understanding of ecosystems and earth forming processes past and present. Our geographical location allows unparalleled access to Australia’s greatest “natural laboratory”: World Heritage National Parks, wildlife reserves, State Forests, rural properties and diverse agricultural landscapes.
With strong national and international partnerships and a vibrant research student community, we advance ecosystem resilience and inform evidence-based management practices that directly contribute to sustainable landscape conservation, restoration, management and use.
If you're passionate about understanding and protecting Earth's ecosystems, find out more and join us to advance your studies in one of our focus research areas.
